The Doctor is OUT. The Frist fiasco has left the Senate.

This alone, is great news for the nation.

1. Yeah, but his replacement is not any better

Corker will use the Senate to pad his own pocket in ways that will make Frist look like a choir boy. While not enamored with Ford, he at least has some semblence of being a statesman.

[spanone]

2. That's ok by me, Corker is probably a one termer. He's no Frist.

And Frist wasn't shit. Ford will be back for the Alexander seat.

[TornadoTN]

3. That's probably true

Corker will fleece the state and the country for as much as he can possible get by with and then get out - a la Fred Thompson.

Ford will be back and hopefully his views will have moderated by then. If he does, then he can take down Alexander with no problem.

4. A Corker with little power is better than a bloviating Frist

Best trade we could get, I'll take it.

5. Finally! Now I can get him to look at this video tape of tumor and tell me if it's benign.
